    How much do you want to spend? I just ordered some bose 17" Maxx wheels that are light (17x7 and 17x10) and going with a M&H DR that is 30" tall.

    Centerlines are pretty light. These Continental Cross Contact UHP's are nice for an all year tire. One of the best wet, dry grip and best wearing truck tires on tirerack.com.
